Is the #openstreetmap API a bit flaky today? Or is it just that #JOSM is too busy making 'AI'-generated rodents?
Even though AI-generated images are inexpensive—which is important for software projects run by volunteers—it feels like there is a fairly large rejection of those images within the community.
I love #JOSM but this move makes it look really unprofessional.
There is a ticket (https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/24124) and a forum discussion (https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/ai-ferrets-take-over-josm/125426) about this.
I've had it up to here with #josm using garbage AI furry image stuff for their homescreen. (this is coming from a furry myself btw)
For context: #JOSM (a very popular #OpenStreetMap editor) has in recent weeks been using ai images (seems like there's a new one every day) to raise awareness for their translation project. They want more translations to happen for the JOSM application.

Really disappointing #JOSM is continuing to use #AISlop in the MOTD. #OpenStreetMap
@Irelephant at least .osm files can be loaded in #JOSM, but if your extract is big enough (say, a city or bigger), it might clog it, since it will try to render _everything_. It's mostly aimed at loading changesets, not whole areas.
After that, it seems like you can convert the pbf into a SQLite/Spatialite DB and load it in #QGis, but you're already transforming the data.
